Round 1 Team 2022

[magpies42]

I can't blame you if you stopped watching in about round nine, but Ruscoe actually came back and showed some great signs as a defender. He's our designated kicker now!

Haha, unfortunately I watched every game. What stuck out was the last game where he had some awful clangers, he wasn’t alone but based on prior history I don’t rate him. I think he’s soft too.

 

[Seedsfan]

LOL, okay, if you say so.

Lol let’s just keep going back to the well with the same blokes that provide **** all each week. Rewarding mediocrity is really going to drive the standards up

 

[LarryKinn]

No way you would pick WHE over Poulter we have to be realistic of where we are at.

That midfield you have picked is fairly experienced when the only one of the centre line or the followers have played under 100 games. So the argument WHE is needed for his experience isn’t valid

I'm happy for Poulter to win the position preseason if the new coach decides
N Daicos, Reef, Macfae, J Daicos and Poulter is the midfield of the future but probably not the right now

Of his output this year he gave us just as much as WHE did at a certain point in time you have to move blokes like WHE on

WHE was slightly better in almost all areas. He's also contracted next season. I think it makes sense to let WHE play ahead of him next season as Poulter works on his strength and defensive work. I like Poulter, but it would be nice if some team bid on WHE to lure him away and we get some compensation.

Poulter will likely be better for the experience WHE form is just going down hill we should look to trade him

I broadly share your general pessimism, but I think your statement there is a bit too absolute.

For instance, I think we could win a couple more in '22, and thereby avoid the bottom four, if any four of these following actually happen. In no order....

1. Moore is fit and healthy and is the AA CHB.

2. Our preferred back seven of nine is pretty stable.

3. The new coach has a decent first year, changes a few things, improves belief & spirit, broadly gets the lads onside. Has a good win or two. Is basically not a shitshow.

4. New Daicos hits the ground running, and is a Rising Star contender.

5. Grundy goes better than this year or last year.

6. The 2020 draft class improve at a normal rate or better.

7. We switch from a rubbish gameplan to a so-so one.

8. We replace a few 3rd rate mature players with some 2nd rate ones.

9. Someone from the Ugly Bunch, ie Wilson, Keane, Browns, Madgic, Noble, Kelly, Murphy, stamps themselves as an AFL standard long-termer. (There's no place like home, x100.)

10. Degoey becomes a legit (top 10?) full-time midfielder.

11. Adams gets some help on the inside.

12. A new Ruck/Stoppage coach cracks the DaVinci Code and converts Grundy tap dominance into strong clean clearance numbers.

13. From somewhere, we find an ok KPF.

14.

14. Win Premiership

Is Stengle on our team?

Hope so
Couldn’t fit a lot of players in, so hopefully they all developing nicely in the 2’s

One thing about WHE is that he can swing forward and is a handy goal kicker. I think he is more useful than not.

Not a bad sub
Can play forward, back or wing

I'll punch a bloody wall if they dick around with Moore and play him forward again.

Ridiculous. Leave him where he belongs... freakin Talia, give me a break.

His form isn't going downhill though. He was better this season than he was last season, and from the Port game onward he was a lot better. His second half of the season was pretty decent.

Poulter will need to do a power of work to get regular playing time next season, mainly because he's quite light.

He is one kg lighter lol makes such a huge difference

 

[gouki88]

He is one kg lighter lol makes such a huge difference

When he's 7cm taller it does, because his muscle density is totally different.

Poulter is 18. There's no rush.

Lol WHE is skinny as they come. Trying to read into weight is laughable as their are so many other variables. There is no point playing a bloke who is 10 years older and offers no more

You're right. There are other variables.

Variables which favour WHE even more.
